Yaz
Yaz (generic name, drospirenone-ethinyl estradiol) is a birth control medication that is a combination of two hormones. One is a kind of estrogen, ethinyl estradiol, and the other is a progestin, drospirenone. Females who take Yaz do not ovulate (release an egg) during their menstrual cycles. It makes vaginal fluid thicker, in order to help prevent sperm from reaching the ovaries and any eggs that may be released. It also changes the lining of the uterus (often referred to as the womb) to prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to it so that it passes out of the body instead of turning into a pregnancy.
While Yaz has been an effective form of birth control for many women, some of its dangerous and serious side effects have warranted a need for a good Yaz lawyer that is licensed to protect injured people in Washington, DC and its surrounding areas.
In addition to preventing pregnancy, Yaz is also used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and moderate acne in females who are over the age of 14 and have elected to take oral contraceptive pills as their method of pregnancy prevention. While it is not necessarily used specifically for these things, some of the added benefits of taking Yaz are that it often makes periods more regular, decreases blood loss, decreases menstrual pain and decreases the risk of ovarian cysts.

Even with these benefits, Yaz has caused dangerous side effects in some of its innocent patients. If you are in the unfortunate situation of having experienced any of the dangerous side effects associated with Yaz, a lawyer in Washington, DC who is experienced with Yaz litigation, may be able to protect your rights and get you the compensation you are entitled to.
